The data center colocation market reflects bullish behavior with the rapid endorsement of data centers across all industry types. With the availability of solutions such as retail and wholesale colocation, the market provides flexibility in terms of fulfilling the capacity needs of individual businesses or institutions. The data center colocation market comprises the practice of providing data center land and infrastructure as well as power, network bandwidth, and physical security on lease to the clients. The advancements in data have motivated businesses in different markets to develop the necessary infrastructure to maintain, store, and process data as quickly as possible. Many key players are facing challenges due to the high investment and lack of expertise needed to build an IT facility that houses data. With the high investments, several companies choose to adapt data center colocation services that guarantee data security and high-quality networks to increase profits.
Data Center Colocation Market Dynamics:
A major factor driving the growth of the data center colocation market is the growing requirement to minimize the IT expenditure and deploy other cost-effective alternatives. There is a progressing requirement to reduce the IT expenditure spent to deploy data center facilities which are vital to the function of corporates. Data center colocation provides the required robustness and cost-effective alternatives to manage the daily data requirement. Hence this has become the major driver of the data center colocation market. However, high initial investment costs are expected to make the end-users second guess before endorsing these solutions.

A crucial restraint in the market is the cost required for the initial installation of IT devices in the data center buildings is very high. Businesses choosing to lease colocation facilities are required to buy their own IT systems. The companies also have to ship the systems to the colocation centers. The price of shipping the systems changes on the size and weight of the systems.

The cost and intricacies involved in the initial installation of data infrastructure are noticeably higher. After installation of these systems in the colocation buildings, companies also have to maintain activities related to the systems. These maintenance activities are performed away from the sites of the data center location, which increases the maintenance cost. The colocation facilities are embedded with remote maintenance support. However, these services are associated with additional costs for the consumers. This added launch and maintenance cost is projected to act as a limitation to the growth of the global data center colocation market.

The main challenge in the data center colocation market is the constant government regulation and security requirements. Data centers are constantly facing the need to co-operate with strict government regulations from federal and state governments. Governments are pressing various regulations that are associated with energy efficiency, water usage, and data centers impact on the environment. Data Center Optimization Initiative founded to enforce the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act needs the agencies to advance and report their data center policies and escalates the need for stringent compliances.

The Data centers need to comply with some security prerequisites and managers need to be active in the security sector. Data centers are needed to provide the monitoring of environmental systems along with physical control of security sub-systems, like biometrics and CCTV systems. Installation and management of these systems need high costs and proficiency. These challenges with the co-operation with regulatory and security policies are projected to restrict the market growth.
